anyone know if a valeo single mass conversion throwout bearing is interchangeable with an oem throwout bearing?

mine arrived broken and I would rather not deal with returning the whole thing

Definitely use a brand new bearing, not sure if they interchangeable. I'm sure the vendor can overnight a replacement bearing since it arrived broken.

The Rock auto automatic system wants to ship a whole new kit and make me pay return shipping I'm going to try to find a. Number for them today

the old bearing is shot, it could not be reused

I got some answers on facebook, valeo and OEM throwout bearing are interchangeable

and it's recommended to use OEM as the valeo is flimsy I can confirm it was broken in the box when I got it
